¶ For agencies
Your client.
Your relationship.
Our craft.
Citably white-labels AI Search Visibility audits and Sprints for SEO and marketing agencies across the Southeast US. You stay in the strategy seat. We deliver the technical work. 30% partner margin in perpetuity per client.
Why now
Your clients are asking.
You don’t have the answer yet.
Your CMO clients are starting to ask whether ChatGPT mentions them. They’re not asking about SEO; they already know SEO. They’re asking about a channel that didn’t exist on your last RFP.
Building GEO capability in-house takes 6–12 months. By then most of the Southeast window is gone. Buying it from a coastal shop costs a five-figure annual minimum and your client gets a stranger on the call.
Citably is the third option: same time zone, Atlanta-priced, founder-delivered, methodology-public. You add the offer to your service ladder without hiring or upskilling. The first Sprint pays for the partner agreement five times over.
How it works
Four steps.
One partner agreement.
- 01Step
You sign once
One partner agreement covers all your future clients. Two pages. Standard NDA + 30% margin terms + co-branding rules. No per-deal paperwork.
- 02Step
You register the client
Quick form: client domain, contact email, which tier. We confirm fit within 24 hours. If they’re not a fit (B2C, unverifiable revenue, conflict-of-interest), we tell you fast: no surprises three weeks in.
- 03Step
Citably delivers
Founder-delivered, same as direct. White-labeled in your branding if you want, or co-branded as “Citably × [Your agency]” for credibility. Your call per deal.
- 04Step
You collect the margin
30% paid out monthly via Stripe, net 14 days from client invoice. Snapshot through Retainer: every tier, every renewal, in perpetuity for that client. No clawbacks.

You own the relationship.
We own the work product.

A handful of Retainer clients compounds into steady monthly margin · one Sprint a quarter tops it up
Partner FAQ
Asked by every agency
in the first call.
01
Why 30% and not more?
Citably is one person. The economics only work above 25%. 30% is high enough to cover your account-management cost without bleeding into delivery quality. SEO agencies typically take 40% on subcontracted GEO work and the delivered audits suffer. We’d rather you sell more than skim more.
02
Can I white-label fully or do you require credit?
Both options exist. Full white-label: audit ships in your branding, your domain, your team takes credit. Co-brand: "Citably × [Your agency]" adds outside credibility without diluting you, and tends to convert better with enterprise buyers. Your call per deal.
03
What if my client already has an in-house SEO team?
Better, not worse. The Sprint deliverables are technical: llms.txt, schema, page rewrites. Your client’s in-house team executes the implementation if they want; Citably ships the audit + checklist + 60-minute handover call. The agency stays in the strategy seat.
04
How do you handle client lock-in if I leave?
You don’t lose the margin if your relationship with the client ends. Margin tracks the client account, not your agency status. If they keep buying, you keep getting paid. The only thing that ends the margin is the client stopping payment entirely.
05
What if my client wants to talk to Citably directly?
We route them back through you by default. If they explicitly request a direct call, we do it on speaker with you on the line. We don’t poach. Reputation matters more than any single deal; we’re a one-person consultancy and word travels fast in Southeast agency-land.
06
Capacity?
Citably runs 3 Retainers + 5 Sprints per quarter total, combined direct and partner. Partner deals get prioritized when capacity is tight, in registration order. Once it’s full, your next registration goes on the wait-list and we ship in the next quarter.
